Still remember that crackle

The needle laying down
C# minorC#m                         A augmentedA
The stain of the glass in the chaple as we laid him in the ground

Never knew what the blues could do to a boy that was given everything it takes
            E MajorE                BB
Now the Cadillac's hummin and my heart starts pumping

Yeah there ain't no doubt that there's no way out from everything I ever wanted

Well they burned down Big Hill

And they marched away
      C# minorC#m                   A augmentedA

        E MajorE
I still go there
            BB
To the middle of no-where
      C# minorC#m                   A augmentedA
It's a lifetime left to me gotta build it up to what it oughta be

Never pray for change
          A augmentedA
That 'ole Memphis Rain
